论文摘要
当今的科学家，工程师和教育工作者的责任是激发和鼓励我们的年轻人从事有利于我们社会的技术职业。但是，这种责任常常被埋葬在日常工作需求和教学的常规下。太空公共宣传团队（现场）计划利用火车训练模型来使大学生通过科学演示来吸引和启发年轻学生对当地社区产生有意义的影响。 Spot利用了太空的兴奋和自然的大学生作为儿童榜样的方式。结果是针对所有参与的双赢计划。本文介绍了原始的蒙大拿州现货计划，并提供了展示现场成功的分析，概述了西弗吉尼亚州的计划适应和Nanograv合作，描述了大学生演讲者如何能够共享复杂的主题，并讨论大学生榜样的重要性。我们希望我们在现场的经验将帮助其他人在自己的社区中实施类似的策略。
It is the responsibility of today's scientists, engineers, and educators to inspire and encourage our youth into technical careers that benefit our society. Too often, however, this responsibility is buried beneath daily job demands and the routines of teaching. Space Public Outreach Team (SPOT) programs leverage a train-the-trainer model to empower college students to make meaningful impacts in their local communities by engaging and inspiring younger students through science presentations. SPOT takes advantage of the excitement of space and the natural way college students serve as role models for children. The result is a win-win program for all involved. This paper describes the original Montana SPOT program, presents analyses demonstrating the success of SPOT, gives overviews of program adaptations in West Virginia and with the NANOGrav collaboration, describes how college student presenters are able to share complex topics, and discusses the importance of college student role models. We hope that our experiences with SPOT will help others implement similar strategies in their own communities.
